Chapter 28 - First Fight

'So they have a mind reader of some sort, that definitely puts a dent in my plan to blend in— but eating a mind reader will make up for this annoyance.'

She thought to herself as she decided to take action— it was just 4 of them and one was already passed out.

"Sally, take Grimlock and run back to the base— tell them we might need help."

Said the burnt man as he blocked the two girls with his body— it was quite brave but he didn't have much time to worry about them because she acted quite quickly.

Pressing her legs down against the ground she sent her body propelling forward at great speeds— the abilities of a rabbit coming in quite useful to instantly reach the man in a matter of seconds.

With an outstretched hand, she slashed at the man's chest, ripping away at his shirt and into his flesh with her sharp claws.

Blood could be seen dripping from the man's open wounds but fortunately for him, he had managed to pull back in time to avoid a deeper wound— nonetheless it was bad.

And he was now shaken.

As she was about to attack the man again she felt her senses warn her about an incoming attack to the side, causing her to recoil in order to avoid it.

'So that's how danger sense works— it's like a feeling in my body.'

"Get your head in the game man."

Shouted the furry as he failed his attack.

It seems he had tried attacking her when she was distracted with the burning man— also saving him in the process— but too bad for him she was better than he had expected.

"You're right I got distracted. Sally go while we keep them busy."

Spoke the burnt man once more as he snapped out of his distracted demeanor and readied his attack— with a snap of his fingers his hands caught on fire.

But it was odd— he was be burnt from his own fire.

'So he gets harmed from his own mutant ability, that's a shitty ability then. But I can make it useful somehow.'

She thought as she gazed at the other man afterward— he was also preparing to attack her at the same time, his fingernails growing into claws as he did.

'And he seems to be some sort of werebeast or something of the sort. Also useless to me currently but better to have nonetheless.'

The men seemed used to team fighting, at least to an extent because when they finally acted to attack her they both did so at the same time— rushing at her from both directions.

She wasn't used to fighting— in fact, this would be the first real fight she had in this world since coming here, and even in her past life, she never really trained to fight humans or anything.

So this would be a good chance for her to learn a little of their skills if she could from watching them— or at the very least see how she fares in a fight.

She didn't move from the position and allowed them to attack her— simply hardening her skin with the multitudes of hardening abilities she had so that upon contact, not even the man's claws or the flames were able to harm her body.

'Quite durable.'

She hummed to herself in pleasure at how durable how abilities made her, not only against physical attacks but also against elemental ones like fire.

"What the hell!"

Exclaimed the furry as his claws simply bounced off her body— he was about to run back but he didn't get the chance, her hand shot out and grabbed him by the neck, holding him in place.

"Let him go!"

Yelled the fireman as he went to attack her once more, but she simply spun her body around and kicked him away with her foot— doing all this while still holding onto the furry wasn't hard thanks to her enhanced strength that could crack even boulders.

"I would like to do this longer, but it seems two rats have gotten away."

She said as she glanced in the distance where the two girls could be seen fleeing— or rather one of them could be seen dragging the other girl away.

Without wasting any time she dug her claws into the man's neck, a burst of blood splatting on her as she did as the man started to bleed out at a rapid rate.

He started to thrash around even more violently than he was doing before— attempting to get out of her grip— but it was already too late.

He was dying, and the other man would follow him soon.

She waited for him to stop thrashing— losing too much blood to keep fighting before dropping him on the ground and making her way over to the fireman.

It seems she had kicked him much harder than she had thought— controlling her strength wasn't easy when she didn't know how much she could use, or how weak the things she was hitting were.

She had accidentally broken quite a few of his ribs and left him unable to move properly— but he wasn't willing to die so easily.

"You bastard! How dare you!"

He yelled with pure anger and hatred in his voice as he watched his friend dying before his eyes— the killer now walking towards him covered in blood without a care in her face.

His body burst into flames as he yelled his words— his entire body. The flames were so hot it caused all his clothing to burn away from his body and even the heat caused ripples in the air.

It was quite impressive— but she could see the damage it was doing to his body.

The burn marks on his body were actively getting worse and she could see parts of his body that were literally melting as he used it longer.

It seemed he had planned to kill himself along with her somehow, but she couldn't allow him to do that.

She needed his body to eat him.
